Rekreacja konna w placówkach oświatowych województwa olsztyńskiego (1945-1989)

Equestrian movement in Olsztyn Voivodeship, in times of the People’s Republic of Poland, developed quite dynamically. The coauthors of the equestrian recreation were initially chiefs of breeding centers who relatively quickly led to the creation of workplace clubs. Therefore, the capital of the region for many years was seen in the national scene as a promoter of qualified horsemanship. There was not paid a particular attention to the organization of facilities, though in Warmia and Mazury a well-devoloped network of agricultural schools was functioning with the necessary infrastructure for this purpose. The first “horse-riding school” was established in 1973. In the seventies of the last century in the educational institutions of the region, they were able to form only three other ones. The research results show clearly that the existing database in the training and educational process was used to a negligible extent.
